Sidelined AIADMK leader T.T.V. Dinakaran has declared total assets of Rs 74.17 lakh in his affidavit filed with his nomination papers for the December 21 Radhakrishnan Nagar constituency bypoll, making him poorer than the official AIADMK candidate.

Dinakaran, who is contesting as an Independent candidate, has disclosed that he owns movable properties worth around Rs 16.73 lakh and immovable assets worth around Rs 57.44 lakh.
